Breanna's Adventure

Phil, Daisy and I had so much fun. We went to the store and everything together. Phil and Daisy were sad to go back to the leader, so we made the best out of their visit. They both were upset, but I said that it's okay and that I'd see them at Girl Scouts every week. They slept on my American Girl Doll bed and loved to sleep on it. We had so much fun together and I hope to see them again. Thank you for my turn with Phil and Daisy.

Phil's Story

It was Halloween night in 2009 and troop 9658 dressed up in costumes for their community of Trick or Treating to Scare Up Old Eyewear for the Lion's Club's annual Sight Night collection for One Sight. The One Sight Organization is "dedicated to improving vision worldwide through outreach, research and education. The troop had been collecting near the TV Station PHL 17 on Wynnefield Avenue in the Bala Cynwyd section of Philadelphia close to a railroad bridge. Near the railroad bridge was an abandoned Toys R Us that had a funny looking machine outside. As the girls went close to check it out, it felt warm to the touch. They opened it up and went inside. The door slammed closed behind them! Then it shook and jostled the girls all around the inside. Then all of a sudden, it stopped and the door popped open. The girls ran outside. They caught their breath and looked all around them. It was different! There was no Toys R Us, no buildings at all. The railroad bridge was gone too. What they saw was all open space. There was a small stream to the left. Everywhere else there was fields and there were trees that surrounded the fields, as far as you could see. To the right there was a big red barn. The girls looked at each other and continued to look around them. They decided to walk to the barn to see what they could find. When they reached the barn, they knocked. As Girl Scouts, they always minded their manners. No one answered. They were about to walk away when they heard a noise from inside. They opened the door and heard it again. One of the girls had a flashlight, so they turned it on and went inside to look around. From the corner, under a bunch of hay, they heard the noise again. The girls tippy-toed over to the hay and moved it around. When they moved the hay, they saw a mall, brown, fuzzy lump just laying there under the hay. Then the lump made the noise again. It sounded like a stomach grumbling!

The girls picked up the little brown lump and saw that she was a horse! They fussed over her and petted and passed her around for everyone to see. Her stomach continued to grumble. They decided to take her back with them since the barn was deserted. They walked back to the machine and without hesitation the door opened and they all stepped inside carrying their new horse friend. Again the machine shook and jostled the girls and the horse all about. When it stopped, the door flew open and they were back where they started, outside the Toys R Us next to the railroad bridge. Near the railroad bridge there was a Philly cheese steak stand. At the stand was the film crew for PHL 17 grabbing a bite to eat. The girls walked up to get a cheese steak for their horse friend since she was so hungry (No, horses don’t normally eat cheese steaks, but it was the only thing near by). When they walked up to the stand, the film crew commented on how adorable the horse was and they treated him to his first and only cheese steak. The girls decided to name her Phil (short for Phyllis), as a thank you to the film crew of PHL 17.
